It is a Rust project with a TUI, a floating desktop view, and integrations for agent CLIs including Claude Code and Codex. ### Project history The official GitHub repository was created in May 2026, and the first tagged release, v0.1.0, followed on May 24. The project quickly expanded from its terminal visualization into a multi-crate engine supporting terminal, desktop-window, and browser renderers. ### Adoption history By July 2026 the project had published twenty GitHub releases and documented support for thirteen coding-agent CLIs across macOS, Linux, and experimental Windows builds. Distribution spans Homebrew, npm, crates.io, prebuilt archives, and Debian packages. ### How it is used Users launch `pixtuoid`, open the Sources panel, and connect supported agent CLIs. Hook events and session transcripts then drive live sprites, status indicators, token meters, and a tree dashboard while remaining local to the machine. ### Why package nerds care The package is notable as a terminal-first observability layer for the emerging multi-agent coding workflow. Its separate `pixtuoid-hook` shim, XDG-aware TOML configuration, multiple installation channels, and shared renderer across TUI, native window, and WebAssembly make it an unusually polished young CLI package. ### Timeline - 2026-05-21: Official GitHub repository created. - 2026-05-24: v0.1.0 published. - 2026-07-16: v0.15.0 published. ### Related projects - The project integrates with Claude Code, Codex CLI, opencode, Cursor CLI, Copilot CLI, and other coding agents; its README also credits pixel-agents and clawd-on-desk as inspirations. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for pixtuoid.
